Christopher Carter is the body language expert that helps leaders and entrepreneurs build relationships.
Christopher believes that everybody is in sales. And, regardless of what business you’re in, the most important thing you sell is yourself.
With an academic background teaching theater and communication, plus 30 years as a professional speaker and entertainer, Christopher knows that sometimes it’s what we DON’T say that counts. Knowing how to use body language to read clients, build trust, and demonstrate credibility is the key to building lasting business relationships.
One other thing: Christopher is also REALLY entertaining! When he stresses the importance of “reading between the lines” of human behavior, he offers more than just words. He illustrates his points with some of the most engaging and entertaining demonstrations of body language reading your audience will ever see.
Christopher has presented to thousands of associations, corporations, and universities, including: The Million Dollar Roundtable, Medical Group Managers Association, Government Finance Officers Association, Land Improvement Contractors Association, National Equipment Dealers Association, John Deere Equipment, Exxon Mobile, United Airlines, and many, many more.
In addition to being a speaker and trainer, Christopher owned an operated a horse farm in Northern Illinois.

Everybody is in sales. No matter what your job title or position, you’re always selling yourself! In this program, Christopher shows how identify when your prospect is willing to buy, and how to communicate so that they’re always buying YOU.


In this program, Christopher shows how to ‘listen between the lines’ to determine not only what people say, but also what they really want. Then he shows how to use those same techniques to instantly build trust and credibility with customers and colleagues, not only in person but also when using video.
